83. Solicitation
The steps on the way home today were very light.
I desperately suppressed the cheers that seemed to rise up to my throat and burst out at any moment.
The shouts burst out only when they reached the basement, a single room.
“Cheer up! I did it!”
Unable to overcome his passion, he fired a series of uppercuts into the air. It was the first time I experienced such feelings since the 2002 World Cup myth.
“I did it! i did it! hahahaha!”
long after that.
Park Kyung-yeon, exhausted from self-sufficiency, collapses on the floor.
And look around.
“Goodbye to this filthy semi-basement rental house.”
It was a house and car provided for an annual salary of a whopping billion won.
Even California, the United States, where the location was only a dream.
‘Professor of Mars Games Academy… … .’
He said he didn’t know the future of a person’s life… … .
‘I never thought I’d have talent and luck on this side.’
Of course, it’s not just luck.
The hard work of the past has paid off.
Park Kyung-yeon clenched his fists tightly.
‘my life. It’s starting now!
* * *
Of course, nothing will change right away.
It was because other 4th grade students were preparing for the game.
‘I have to help them too.’
The overall game quality is not comparable to Snack Empire. Even so, Park Kyung-yeon, as an advisor and teacher, had an obligation to support the students’ game release.
Aside from the contract issue, that was the duty of a teacher to do.
“professor! Please look at this!”
“what’s the problem?”
“No matter how many times I turn the dice, a 6 doesn’t come out… … .”
“what? where… … oops, wrong function setup. (1.6) This part! You mean greater than 1 and less than 6, right? With this value, of course, 6 won’t come out.”
“ah… … !”
Requests for help vary greatly.
Sometimes I want to ask for help with something like this, but Park Kyung-yeon was never annoyed.
Originally, it was because there were many difficulties not only in education centers but also in actual workplaces due to absurd problems rather than abstruse problems.
Instead, I taught her once, but asking for help after struggling with the same problem again was a problem that could not be overlooked due to her personality.
“Make this an example and make sure to share it on the school bulletin board. It’s a problem that you and other teams need to see and keep in mind.”
“yes… … .”
It was necessary to properly disseminate important issues so that everyone could share them as much as possible.
A ＜development issue＞ section was created on the bulletin board of the school homepage, which only students can access, and periodically uploaded examples and asked them to check it.
This has been quite helpful, and if I had any problems, I could have solved them just by looking at these forum examples.
This is thanks to the accumulation of quite a lot of databases.
“When testing, don’t act like regular users play the game. Then even if you find a small problem, you will be able to take a look at it. After meticulously specifying the scope, divide the roles. And be sure to make a checklist and manage it carefully!”
Depending on the department, the development part is also divided, but there are quite a few things that you must know as a developer.
Like QA for example.
“Testing is a very important part for all developers, regardless of their occupational group. You should have basic knowledge and competence in this area. It is because only then can you handle your field perfectly without any issues.”
emphasized several times.
Never forget after today.
“Development is all about completing tests perfectly and checking the contents of this server update! Development isn’t that easy. Did you understand?!”
“yes!”
Lunch hour.
“professor! Let’s eat together!”
“They said they opened a really delicious meat noodle restaurant outside the school! Let’s go there together!”
From a certain moment, Park Kyung-yeon became the most popular professor among students.
I thought while moving with the students.
‘Was it right after the relationship with Team Yoo became known?’
That incident was a trigger, but to be precise, it seems to have been from the point of giving full support to Rising Studio by mobilizing his personal connections.
Since then, students of all kinds have flocked to it.
Unlike other professors, he is really talented and has a great network! He generously gave it to his disciples!
It seems that this story is floating around.
‘There are some guys who show more interest in ash, but… … .’
“professor. If we succeed in this project, will we be able to join Nexple?”
“Is joining Nepple your goal?”
“Yes, right now, Nexple is a dream job that any game developer would like to work for! The problem is that the walls are too high… … They say they don’t hire newbies and newcomers who don’t really know anything. The competition is huge… … .”
“hmm… … .”
“There is a saying that it is possible to pass the document interview only if the public recruitment is at least Seoul and Yon-Gyo University… … Skills and specs are important to move into a development position, but I heard that networking is more important than that… … .”
“I heard that an older brother I know worked for three years at a small and medium-sized company and succeeded in joining the company this time through the recommendation of an insider at Nexle.”
“My friend who goes to a certain game academy said he succeeded in joining the company on the recommendation of a professor from Nexle… … .”
Park Kyung-yeon couldn’t help but laugh at the gaze that contained the unspoken wish.
I tried to turn it around, but it was too obvious to see inside.
‘There’s no need to be cold-hearted.’
Originally, Park Kyung-yeon had a clear line, and was ruthless to those who tried to invade it even a little. However, as he became a teacher who taught students, his thinking became flexible.
“You guys, do you want to join Nexple like that?”
“yes!”
twinkling eyes.
“good. And then, I’m releasing just one tip that I can’t hear anywhere else!”
“Why one thing?”
“If possible, tell me everything!”
Park Kyung-yeon grinned at the students’ voices.
“It’s because it’s a trade secret.”
“Ooh!”
“Shouldn’t I also eat and live? uh? don’t like to hear If you don’t like it, don’t.”
“no!
“Tell me please!”
“Everyone be quiet! That’s what the professor says!”
learn by teaching
When I first started teaching as a professor, I often thought that my patience was being tested.
But aren’t the students ignorant?
Thinking like that, I approached it from the perspective of an educator, and my thinking and attitude began to change.
As a result, the angular parts disappeared and I learned how to deal with people more deeply.
‘Would I have been able to lead the Atlantis project better if I was like this now?’
It was then.
There were a lot of angular parts, and I was very picky with the team members who couldn’t keep up with me as much as I wanted.
The field of view was narrow.
‘It could have been my problem after all.’
I am grateful to those who believed in this person until the end as the representative and director and followed and devoted themselves.
That’s what it was when I think about it now.
“Team Yoo… … No, CEO Taeyeon Yoo likes people with a wide perspective.”
“Are you a person with a wide field of vision?”
“It’s a story that I don’t like people who know how to do just that because their occupational group is a scenario planner.”
“ah… … .”
“Why?”
Several opinions pour in.
Park Kyung-yeon listened quietly and then spoke.
“The output of people with narrow vision is optimized only for what they see. That’s why it’s inevitable that there are many parts that are unfortunate or problematic in the eyes of other job groups. What would happen if we had a development meeting in this state?”
“I will fight.”
“That’s right. It means that there is bound to be a problem with communication, which is the most important part of development. In fact, this is where all the trouble comes from.”
From the release of honey tips, it naturally leads to teaching.
The students listened attentively and focused, not caring about the food getting cold.
“This is where the voice that the conversation doesn’t work. How frustrating it must be because I can’t figure out why I’m saying this. This is not even a school, so should I hold on to each one and teach them?”
Everyone shakes their heads.
“You don’t want to meet a team member like that even for a school project. right?”
“yes!”
“I wonder if it would be too embarrassing for a company that pays and hires you. That’s it. That’s why we don’t want to hire people with narrow vision, people who can only do one thing.”
Park Kyung-yeon looks at the disciples and smiles.
“If I told you this far, would you understand? Now, if I were CEO Taeyeon Yoo, what would I want to confirm against you guys?”
“Look!”
“That’s right. You need a sense of depth in your main job, but of course you have to equip it. eyesight. Sight is important. I mean, take that into account and prepare for a job.”
“How should I prepare for that?”
“You have to use the project. Not just your field… … .”
It is not only students who actively approach Park Kyung-yeon.
In fact, the professors were worse.
They did not hide their insidious plot, but exposed it.
“Professor Park. The professors decided to gather together for a light drink this evening. Will you join? Professor Kim, Professor Jeong, Professor Oh, and the vice president will be coming too… … .”
‘They are.’
Park Kyung-yeon clicked his tongue.
When three or more people gather together, a faction forms.
The people he mentioned, including the professor in front of him, were the representative factions of this educational institute.
It’s not really like a meeting with a great intention, but if it bothers you, it gets very tiring.
Some professors couldn’t stand their annoyance and left.
‘If it was like before, it would have been difficult to refuse.’
But not now.
“I’m sorry, but I’m busy and can’t find time.”
I politely refuse and try to turn my back, but he talks to me with a desperate expression.
And then
“I know you’re busy these days, but… … But please give me some time.”
“… … .”
earnestly request
I don’t have anything like this… … Even in normal times, he was polite in his tone, but he was strangely harsh in his content. So I didn’t want to fight, so I deliberately avoided it.
The person who did that now somehow wants to make a serious conversation with himself.
Rather, he even lowered his posture.
“please. There is something I really want to tell you… … Above all, this is the seat prepared by the vice-president.”
‘Vice dean?’
It seems that there is something.
After thinking about it, Park Kyung-yeon asked.
“… … Where can I go by what time?”
* * *
A Japanese pub located near the school.
From nob le mt l dot com
Middle-aged men gathered in a corner look at the door with anxious faces.
Finally, the person we’ve been waiting for has arrived.
“Here!”
“here!”
People who welcome you with bright faces.
They were professors at Korea University Game Education Center.
Park Gyeong-yeon sits down and scrambles to give one word at a time.
“Aren’t you having a lot of trouble taking care of the 4th graders’ projects these days?”
“I didn’t know what you liked, so I ordered this and that. If you wait a little bit, alcohol and food will come out soon!”
“Don’t worry about your wallet, let’s eat and get drunk! The vice president shot him today!”
Park Kyung-yeon looked at a middle-aged man.
A man with a scholarly appearance wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
‘Vice dean Minki Lee.’
he offers a drink
“Take a drink.”
“yes.”
After a drink, the conversation began in earnest.
“Actually, I prepared this place because I wanted to ask Professor Park.”
I thought I knew what it was about, but I held back.
“I would like to have a seat with Nepple representative Taeyeon Yoo.”
‘I knew it.’
Park Gyeong-yeon sighed inwardly at the unexpected business.
